[QUOTE="Broz, post: 393489, member: 7503"] It was totally beautiful this evening. Not a hint of wind at the gun or target. It is not often I see the streamers hanging straight down at my targets in the hills. So I decided to take a few shots at 1000 and at my 1395 yard target using loadbase. Let me first say that I am still very impressed with the 300 gr 338 Bergers. They are consistant and tight. I still feel that I can improve my load with tweeking the seating depth and maybe the charge too. Plus I havent tried the Fed GM215M primers yet. So for just a quick load I put together these bullets are doing the job!! Thanks to the folks at Berger Bullets. OK, Loadbase results. I did the dope for 1000 and to my surprise I was left and low about a foot. So I dialed it in. Using that windage for a start I did the dope for 1395 yards and added .25 moa more left for spin drift to the windage that was on at 1000. Load base gave me a come up of 36 moa. Here is the target after I fired only 3 shots at it. So the ups were right for 1395 but not for 1000. The spin drift was off or maybe the corialis will fix it as I am not using it yet. The plan now is to get the chrono, fine tune the load, check the scope tracking values, and keep dialing in till the first round cold bore shots are spot on. See, my .338 Lapua is not quite a 1/2 moa rifle all the time..:rolleyes: jeff gun)gun) [IMG]http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg91/JBroz1/DSC02323Small.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
